3. Introduction: How can you save water & energy in your wineries?
Agriculture, as first sector of production,
recognizes the importance of careful
environmental management. It highlights the
fact that the current success and future
growth of the industry can only be sustained
if environmental issues such as water use are
addressed.

4. Why is water so important in wine production?
Wine production needs a great amount of water. We use it for washing, cleaning and sanitation of machinery, tank, pipes, barrels and bottles. These steps avoid that the wine touches foreign elements and other products. The purpose is a wine with healthy and organoleptic quality.

5. Water & Vinification Valuation about use of water:
High consumption of water and its heating (energy consumption)
Presence of detergent or organic element in the wastewater.

6. Techniques: Saving water in washing operation.
Avoiding wastewater in washing.
Adopting modern systems and technology for water purification and reusing.
Decreasing water consumption in process steps.
Reducing pollution in wastewater.

7. CIP (cleaning in place)
The machine is provided by an automatic, electronic and auto-recycling system of detergents and solution for washing.
There are 2 system of CIP
1 stage system: con EDTA that cause ambient problem
Double-stage system: whit caustic and acid solutions that need high consumption of water, energy and reagent.

8. Water cleaner at medium pressure
Medium pressure requires less quantity of water than any other similar systems using low pressure. We can save water, wastewater is limited and save energy at the same time.

9. High-pressure wash (HPLV-high pressure-low volume)
The water mechanic energy could reduce the temperature and the quantity of cleaning water and the sanitizers.

11. Pre-washing and dry cleaning of the working area
Dry cleaning is a dry mechanic washing method
Benefits:
No water use
No water contamination
Possibility of recycling of value parts

12. Air pressure The air pressure system could be used to clean pipes.
It reduces the residue, and get better the wastewater and uses less water for cleaning.
An evolution of this system is the “Pigging”.
The Pigging system consists in a little obstacle that removes residuals

13. Membrane systems These processes use the osmosis’ system.
Pict. 4: Mebrane system
These processes use the osmosis’ system.
There is selective membrane

14. UV radiation This system kills virus and bacterium Benefits:
Not water alteration
Not use of chemicals
Not pollution
Cheap energetic cost

15. Ozone use This system purpose is disinfection and recycling of water.
Benefits:
No pollution and degrade the pollutants
Get better the biodegradability
No salt in the treated water
The ozone use is efficiency in bottling and rinsing

16. Use of the injectors
The pressure helps the cleaning, washing and cooling of produces.

17. Tap-waste We can use automatic taps.
Another strategy is that of introduced air in the water.

18. Don’t wash bottles
We can avoid bottle washing, saving water and energy winery if we buy sterilized bottles.

19. Chemicals (detergents)
These products:
remove Tatars
using recommendeddose
are sanitizers
Sodium Hypochlorite
Great amount of water
Acid Per citric
Ambient respect
are antifermentatives
Potassium Metabisulfite
using recommended dose

20. Water & Energy: Staff
At the end the worker must be updated their knowledge, and using the recommended dosage for the products.

21. Water & energy: General Suggestion
Switching off lights and equipment that are not in use.
Using photovoltaic power plant, solar panels and energy low bulbs.
Using equipment with variable speed.
Isolating warm and cool water pipelines and tank

22. Conclusion No heating water is saving energy
Less machinery water comsumption is saving water
Reducing pollution and wastewater is saving water and we can also reuse it.
